Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Cheddar
Meet Cheddar!
Cheddar is an irresistible 8-week-old Jack Russell Chihuahua mix with the most adorable golden-red spots and delicate speckles on her ears. She may be tiny, but she’s bursting with personality—a perfect balance of spunky and snuggly!
Like any young puppy, Cheddar is curious, playful, and learning how to navigate the big world around her. She was likely separated from her family a little too soon, making her a bit cautious at first, but once she feels safe, she’s incredibly affectionate and eager to shower her people with kisses. Beneath her playful energy is a true cuddle bug who loves nothing more than curling up in your arms after a fun play session.
We expect Cheddar to grow to around 14 pounds when fully grown, making her the perfect pint-sized companion. Since she’s still so young, she’ll need to stay out of public spaces and off shared surfaces for at least another eight weeks until she’s fully vaccinated.
Cheddar is a blank slate with no formal training yet, which means she’s looking for a patient, loving family committed to helping her become the best dog she can be. She’ll thrive with:
Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance
Plenty of socialization and basic training
Lots of playtime and, of course, endless snuggles
Her ideal family will understand that adopting a puppy is a lifelong commitment—one filled with adventures, training, and countless moments of love. If you’re ready to welcome a spunky, affectionate, and utterly adorable little pup into your life, Cheddar is excited to meet you!
